Planning for Teaching and Learning BSCS 12/1/2018 Planning for Teaching and Learning Quick-write How would you describe your classroom and the factors that guide your decisions about science teaching and learning? How are these factors influenced by the NGSS? Be prepared to share one idea from your quick-write Achievement First: Unit Development

Planning for Instruction LITE!

BSCS 12/1/2018 Goals and Outcomes Deepen understanding of the BSCS 5E Instructional Model to support planning for instruction and assessment aligned with the NGSS Develop a coherent storyline about phenomena and a conceptual flow aligned with the NGSS Achievement First: Unit Development

Thinking beyond a Lesson to an Integrated Instructional Sequence Integrated instructional units interweave laboratory experiences with other types of science learning activities, including discussion, reading, writing, and mini-lectures. Students are engaged in forming research questions, designing and executing investigations, gathering and analyzing data, and constructing explanations and arguments. Diagnostic and formative assessments are embedded into the instructional sequence and can be used to promote self-reflection about students’ thinking. National Research Council, 2006

NGSS Instructional Design Instructional materials are designed with clear performance expectations in mind Learning experiences are thoughtfully sequenced into the flow of classroom science instruction Learning experiences are designed to integrate learning of science concepts (DCI and CCC) with learning about the SEP Students have opportunities for ongoing reflection, discussion, discourse, & argumentation Bybee, 2014

Selected Reading Focus questions while reading BSCS 12/1/2018 Selected Reading Focus questions while reading What are the key characteristics of each phase of the model? How does the entire BSCS 5E instructional model support student learning? Be prepared to share your response to question 2 with your small group. 25 min Option Read the 5Es Short reading from HPL/HSL – 1 pager. No reading from the Framework Slide w/ a few key points….Visual graphic that represents how Framework, HPL/HSL/5Es connect, THEN focus on reading about the 5Es. How do the 5Es map back to this…strong statement at the end about Framework and learning for all students. Achievement First: Unit Development

Revisit the Scenarios Review the scenarios again: BSCS 12/1/2018 Revisit the Scenarios Review the scenarios again: Which teacher was using the BSCS 5E Instructional Model? Which teacher is not guided by the Model? Why do you think so? Work with your group to label each of the lessons in the appropriate scenario with the phase of the 5E Model (i.e., with the E) Write the E for each lesson onto a sticky-note and put it onto the corresponding chart Which were easy to label? Difficult? Why? Achievement First: Unit Development

Science Teaching and Learning BSCS 12/1/2018 Science Teaching and Learning Think back to the research on How People Learn and How Students Learn Science in the Classroom How does the BSCS 5E Instructional Model reflect the themes from this research? Achievement First: Unit Development

Science Teaching and Learning BSCS 12/1/2018 Science Teaching and Learning . . . K-12 science and engineering education should focus on a limited number of disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts, be designed so that students continually build on and revise their knowledge and abilities over multiple years and support the integration of such knowledge and abilities with the practices needed to engage in scientific inquiry and engineering design . . . (p. 2 Framework for K-12 Science Education) How can the BSCS 5E Instructional Model help achieve the vision set forth by the NGSS? Achievement First: Unit Development

Concept Attainment What is the pattern that predicts the Yes? or No?

Phenomena and Concepts As you read, be prepared to discuss the following questions: What are anchor phenomena? What is the difference between phenomena and concepts?

Ms. Rivera’s Phenomena and Conceptual Flow Form a larger group comprised of an “expert” or two from each of the seven Ms. Rivera lessons. With your new group, use sentence strips to identify: The phenomenon of the instruction sequence The concept for each of the 7 lessons

Tool 3 Example Review Ms. Rivera’s Storyline: how does it compare to your sentence strips? Review Ms. Rivera’s 3D Conceptual Flow: where do you see alignment with the three dimensions?

Coherence means . . . Coherence is when instruction is organized in a deliberate fashion to promote student learning. At the end of an instructional sequence, students become more sophisticated in using DCIs, SEPs and CCCs to make sense of phenomena and to design solutions. A coherent learning sequence is designed to build toward a bundle of NGSS performance expectations which serve as the learning goals.

Coherence and Storyline A storyline is situated in a context that drives student engagement and motivation about a phenomenon or problem. In a coherent storyline, students engage in making sense of phenomena or designing solutions to problems.

Your Turn Read the Guide to Developing a Conceptual Flow and Phenomena-based Storyline Review the three dimensions and PEs from the instructional sequence you worked with in Tool 2 to develop your EoLS. Follow the steps in the Guide and work with your group to develop a coherent 5E sequence Transfer your work to the electronic Tool 3 Template.
